     This plug is a little late, considering the life expectancy of
this bimonthly (and is worth repetition if some enlightened soul has
posted an OP mention already).  Briefly, LMN stands for Lost Music Network,
and each OP issue consists of independent music reportage relating to a
given letter of the alphabet.

     July/August is "X":  Iannis Xenakis, Xena, X-mal Deutschland, plus
ringer articles on rockabilly women, David Thomas (of Pere Ubu),
Slim "Flat Foot Floogie" Galliard, and the Japanese new wave scene.
It's definitely a "dense" rag, and you won't put a dent in it unless
you are pretty serious about noncommercial, third world, and "Martian"
music.

     A featured columnist, until his passing, was an 80-year-old guy
in a nursing home who ran down his wacky, but unpretentious impressions
of everyone from Velvet Underground to Gene Vincent.

     Largely reader-written, there's a nice fanzine review section,
as well as event listings and the de rigueur plethora of capsule album
summaries.  Plus free flexi-disc.  Have fun with the soon-to-be out-of-print
OP, no longer a well-kept little secret of musicrits.
